I don't think any of these players got a guaranted 41 million for the first year that they played with the Colts .
Still, they are skipping voluntary OTAs. This happens in every team, and folks just need to stop crying.

Agreed my only point was that some are doing it for different reasons.
Do the reasons really matter? In the end the guys aren't there. And it's not a big deal until the workouts become mandatory.

There you have it - the sticking point. I don't think that those on one side of this issue will ever convince those on the other side of the merit of their position. Nevertheless, I would be curious to know the number and percentage of people on this site who stand on each side of this issue.
How about putting up a poll on this topic, specific to AH? Let's find out what percentage of the people on this site think that it is a big deal that AH has chosen to skip the voluntary portion of the Redskins' off-season program (OTA's and mini-camps) versus those who think that it is not a big deal as long as he attends all of the mandatory events. Would you do that?

Yes they matter,say I don't have a contract ....I'm not stepping on the field without one that's good business sense that people can understand,say I'm not there becuase I think I know more then the coachs and don't need to learn anything new ....well that's a little bit different. Mattyk it does matter when you're trying to create team chemistry.

I wonder why Giantone has such an interest in AH not being in camp. I'd guess he would perfer if AH is not on the team. Giantone do you know what AH stands for when we are playing against the Giants? Again Homeboy That's what AH will be saying when he is getting up off Ecry.

Funny that you dismissed the three guys from the Colts that I mentioned compared to AH. I think it is harder to build team chemistry with three guys out than just one.
Anyway, I brought up those guys from the Colts (and others who are doing the same) to show that players skipping voluntary workouts/OTAs is a normal thing in this league and people need to stop crying about it.
If players/coaches/fans/etc., etc., are so concerned about players skipping voluntary workouts/OTAs then they should make all workouts/OTAs mandatory.

Horrible showing of Bidwell...horrible. :smashfrea
